Summary
There are many versions of Tabouli around, but this recipe was introduced to me by a young man from Lebonon who lived with us for a while. Several times a year the craving for this salad comes over me and I get the chopping board out! This recipe makes a large batch but I always give bowls of it away to friends and family, as everyone has come to love it as much as I do. Take time to finely chop ingredients. I do not use a food processor as the results are not the same.

I also love this Tabouli recipe as it is but, sometimes I add 1 diced green pepper as well. Very nice to share with friends.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
